Note - Wine and Proton are compatibility layers, designed to run Windows games and other software on Linux and other operating systems. Proton is Valve's version of Wine that's available through Steam. See our dedicated page for more.

I just noticed you put a similar refresher in almost every article (and similar for Nvidia stuff). That's awesome forward thinking and very helpful especially for newbies :)

futex2 is exciting. Blows my mind how much Valve has helped kick Linux gaming in to high gear.

Thanks for the kind words. I try not to assume too much from readers, because there's tons of special terms everywhere that are easy to forget or just be confused on. People who know can ignore it but it I think it's helpful overall :)

It is pretty helpful.
In case your bored you might try to move it to a pop up/balloon 5hingie when hovering the mouse over the first instance of the word wine or proton, and then automate it so when you post an article it does that for certain words...... yeah I am full of ideas ;)

Quoting: Liam DaweSince browsers can run a lot of games nowadays, how do people feel about a primary browser question?

Browser question is cool
And if you have time please add opensuse tumbleweed, its a big difference compared to opensuse leap
And maybe add "no" to vr question, don't have one and not really thinking about getting one or not :)

Tencent was already huge but mostly in China, they sure are expanding to the "west" the last few years

Quoting: fagnerlnThis twilight theme is really beautiful! KDE breaks a bit too much IMO, but I'm for sure will try this with Wayland

Way too many times after updating packages my KDE will break in all sorts of fun ways. I've had this issue for years with every KDE distro and is a bad user experience.

Running tumbleweed since it was released, with kde and I have to say that kde breakage I can count on one hand....

I gotten a new laptop for a friend at https://laptopwithlinux.com/ [External Link], was pleasantly surprised with the flexible configuration. Delivery was 2 days later, they are located in the Netherlands. In the end its a clevo laptop but have to say it feels pretty stable and fast, just putting the final touches on it before I hand it over.

Loved the dwarves, but I think part of that is because I played it after reading the books, not sure it it has the same appeal to someone who not read it.

Great if they get it working but as apple is not intrested in this (although could be a good market for them, just bare hardware) this will always lag way behind because of the amount of work that reverse engenering takes, apple will be on the m3 by the time the m1 will be up and running 100% (cpu, gpu, network) with linux.

But lets hope i am wrong 😀

The good news is that Epic will not be locking it down to their systems

for now.*

Why would they? If EAC and other acquisitions are to go by, they have no interest in locking SDK's and services pertinent to other game engines to their platform because if anything, it helps them. They indirectly benefit from contracts made by RAD and others.

It looks to me like they are building up an ecosystem, to then lock it down:

1. All tools/assets needed to develop games with big market share are being bought. Or at least influenced as much as possible.

2. Include them in an ecosystem (Unreal Engine as base)

3. Lock it down to Epic Games Store or at least make it hard and expensive to publish somewhere else.

Linux gamers will of course only be collateral damage.

In the long long run i think you might be right, but i am also pretty sure that developers using other engines then unreal will be looking for alternatives so in the long long run rad will be forgotten and unreal engine will have it incorperated and other engines will have something else.
